No impact here as a 21 year old female. Although, my dad and I would watch movies together when I was little. He would take me to see the newest SciFi and horror movies. He also showed me the ones that he loved growing up. I also have always liked villians in movies and I would root for them at times, especially monsters. I am like Mrs. Bickerman(Betty White) in Lake Placid, "I'm rooting for the crocodile.I hope he swallows your friends whole". So I think it stems back to my dad introducing me to these films and ever since then I have always being more into horror and SciFi. :)
As far as subgenres go: I like monster movies, slashers & serial killers, body horror. (especially films from the 1980s), satanic/demons, some b-horror & horror comedies.
I have gotten a lot of surprise from people when they realize my interest and love of these films, I guess because I am female. My boyfriends digs it. We watch movies together all the time.
